Thanks again for your excellent videos and website. As someone who is very fussy about shoes (😂) I’m very grateful! You’ve saved me a lot of head scratching - thanks 🙏
They have sizing charts with this information. Can easily click on their sizing charts to see and compare. If you have a wide foot and you're nervous about the TYR model, go up a half size or buy the wide option.
Can you point me in a good direction for a good training shoe that is also good for mid length runs? I do have a wide foot so I train in the born primitive but I will be starting a training academy for six months which I will be doing CrossFit, cross training and runs on any given day and trying to find a shoe that will work well all around if needed. Thanks for all the info you’ve already given!
New Balance makes some solid wider foot runners, Inov8 also has a few options! I'd see what they have in store and go from there. My running depth only goes so far so I can point you in a decent direction, but I don't have endless specific picks to recommend like trainers and barefoot shoes, lol
I’m looking for a training shoe that has a wider toe box and is good for gym workouts and some running. I’m having a hard time finding a shoe for that. I was leaning towards the BP or TYR in these videos but since you said they are not great for some running I’m now not sure what to get 😂.
Jake thanks for the videos man, i cant test the shoes before buying them so these kind of videos really help me to be accurate. I have a really flat feet and wide on the arch, i tested nanos metcons, nobulls and nothing seems to hit the nail, i even have the nike invincible for running and my feets gets tired even standing because of the inclined position , do you think the Savage 1 are better for me than the haze ones that seems like the other option for flat feet? Thanks again man you do a wonderful work here.
Just got a pair of Strike MVMNTs and love them. They are 11.5 Mens and are just a tad tight in mid foot and give or take the day a tad bit to long but not by much. Would you say the Born Primitive Savages run bigger or are more spacious? If so I may grab some 11s! Thanks love the videos!
I'd stick with the 11.5, honestly. Can always wear slightly thicker socks if you want to fill the space at the end a bit more, but a bit too long is way better than too snug, especially for CF and plyos!
Hi mate, not bought any trainers in a while. I'm currently using some older Nano X and X1s. Most of my gym time is spent on strength/hypertrophy work but want to also start adding in some more plyometric movements into my training. I was looking at the Reign 6 but I'm a little concerned about squatting in it so I was considering something more like the dropset or maybe adding a weightlifting shoe (never used one before) alongside the Reign. Any suggestions? PS. Love the idea for your store, I was shopping today and nowhere had proper training shoes available to try on.
I'd give the Dropset a try. They're exceptionally solid or at least would be a good option to explore next for you based on this context! Ayyy, let's go! Going to be a grind
@thatfitfriend I'm a mostly compound exercise focused lifter, need a good enough shoe for squats with a shoe that I can do lunges, box jumps etc in.. I deadlift without shoes. Just need a do it all training shoe as I'm tired of metcons! I bicycle for cardio so running isn't as important. I haven't tried either on yet as stock for both shoes Is at two different store locations but I think I'm going to make a drive out today and try both on
I currently have a couple pairs of RADs but find them to be a little bit narrow for me in the toe box. But I love the versatility of the RADs. What would you recommend that would give me more width in the toe box, but still have versatility for all my CrossFit workouts?
Nah probably not. It’s a novelty shoe so it likely won’t be worth reviewing since stock is limited/will sell out fast. I have so many other shoes I’m more interested in/reviewing atm!

Hi I have a mobility problem. Would you recommend this barefoot like shoes like these Born primitive or UA reigns for me? Or the higher heel to toe drop would be better? So far havent tried those low heel to toe drop and curious if it would work for me specially interms of oly lifts
You'd prob be well off in the Dropset/CXT-2, then you could always ditch them for certain days when you want to train mobility and not train on a drop!
@@thatfitfriend i kinda have a wide feet and flat foot, if i get the cxt-2 and get it true to size will it be good for me? I have the cxt-1's and it feels kinda snug in the toe area and the arch of my foot kind of overlaps and looks bulky. For this issue maybe savage 1's is better and just work on mobility?
Great review Jake! Have been looking at the Savage as a fan of the Nano2 and Haze. To throw another into the mix… Savage of Metcon 1 rerelease for CrossFit and daily?

How would you say Adidas Dropset 3 compares to Nike Metcon 9
A bit more versatile with better ankle support! I like the Dropset 3 more for doing a bit of everything
Awesome review 👏🏼 you mention wearing size 10 in both the Tyr and Savage, could you share the insole length for these two? Thanks!

Team dropset trainer! Like if you agree

Are you going to review the Project Rock 7 shoes?
@@tylerdunn5935 yeah, have a pair and have been training in em. Had a Bach party this weekend so took tome off work :)
@@thatfitfriend nice how do you like them so far?
reebok nano x4 is best for all?
Eh. Better options, imo. How are you training?

Go inov8 f fly if you’re wanting something for runs longer than a mile or two!
F-lite can also be decent

Yeah, I’d go for the Savage over the Haze for sure!

Im really stuck between nano x4 and dropset 3.. sale going on at my local sport store.
@@SlickSniper3 how do you train? Give me a weekly breakdown, also, have you tried both on?

Is the texus original power bar good for deadlifts?
It can be if you want to pull on a stiffy!

TYR CXT-2 or BP SAVAGE 1. Savage 1 will run a little more dense, though!
@@thatfitfriend thank you!
Went for the adidas, are you making a review on the Metcon 1 OG?
Nah probably not.
It’s a novelty shoe so it likely won’t be worth reviewing since stock is limited/will sell out fast. I have so many other shoes I’m more interested in/reviewing atm!

Whats the purpose or the benefit of a higher heel to toe drop when it comes to working out? Ive seen some with a drop of 9mm snd some are 2 mm. Why?

Tyr dropzero trainer or savage 1?
Way diff types of shoes. Do you want a trainer or barefoot shoe?
Great review Jake! Have been looking at the Savage as a fan of the Nano2 and Haze. To throw another into the mix… Savage of Metcon 1 rerelease for CrossFit and daily?
Savage 1. Metcon 1 is fine, but it's a novelty money grab offering, imo. Savage 1 is a stronger performer.
Thank you!
Metcon 6 vs CXT2?
We talking OG Metcon 6? If so, that model. CXT-2 are sick, though.
@@thatfitfriend yessir. OG Metcon.
Dropset >>>>>>>> all.
@@fabiobrand539 I do miss the 2, tho 😭
